EDIT: Do I get brownie points if I don't use a miracle cart?

None.
So can I have some metal carts to throw at people?
None.
Okay, serious question - can I refer to other players indirectly in my actions? For example, can I shout something relatively loudly, carrying a message to adjacent rooms but also alerting other players to me? If I were the killer and had a knife, a lighter, and a gas can, could I say "Move north, and if I find an isolated person, slaughter them and set fire to their body" (to render them unrecognizable)?
On the other end of the coin, say I was near certain of the killer or someone who wanted me dead - could I say "Move east, and fire on OlimarandLouie if I see him/them"?
EDIT: Oh, and can I turn on/off the lights without using an action while staying in the same room?
EDIT 2: Are we permitted to develop and post a map?

Anything goes. The statements will be interpreted to the context of the environment to the best of poison's ability. I wouldn't bother wasting actions for shouting (I believe vocal actions that are intended to be heard in adjacent rooms cost an action, as they were in Azrael's game; talking, on the other hand, is free). You can definitely say "If there is 1 person in the room, do this; otherwise, do that"; it's pretty standard.

Only if you knew who Olimar was; if your character doesn't know another character's name, you couldn't do that. We'll probably know names for this game, though.
EDIT: Oh, and can I turn on/off the lights without using an action while staying in the same room?
It costs an action. You can usually toggle lights while entering/leaving a room without costing an action, though.
EDIT 2: Are we permitted to develop and post a map?
Yes. In fact, that's how the game was played the first time around. This falls under the "anything goes" concept of the game.
Feel free to correct me for inaccuracy, poison.
Much appreciated, and understood.

Yes. This has been done before. You may use any method of communication, form alliances, etc. Posting in the thread while you are dead is allowed unless you post potentially game-altering events. Saying "I'm dead" is considerably less game-altering than "I was with x and I got stabbed to death", for obvious reasons. As Roy said, "anything goes", barring game-altering posts by the dead.
Oh, this is a new rule
Generally, if you're going to do something hostile to someone, you should disguise your appearance at a minimum. Even with this barring rule, PMs will fly out if you let your victim know who you are.
Just saying.
Thanks for the reply, both Roy and poison. I'll be nabbing that metal cart, you can bet on it.
Is there any limit to how much we can hold? (Expect pretty much every post and PM to contain a question=D)
None.
This sounds fun and creative, great job, sign me up
None.

Oh, also, any other means you can contrive of to carry stuff in is legit, too, such as putting something on top of your head (though I wouldn't recommend that).
Remember, if you're carrying something sharp, you can carry it creatively, such as:
Place cleaver firmly into left shoulder with a swift swinging motion.
Stick blade into the skin on my side, taking care not to hit any organs.
Pierce earlobe with the hook as to wear it like an earring.
It's a limitless inventory system with
no drawbacks!
No drawbacks like crippling pain and general crippling? You're the first on my hit list=)
None.
